sway REALLY bad.....i just didnt expect it. i dont know if he was spinning when he was running, but you can tell the car started to sway real bad before he slammed the wall.

They make slicks for almost every application weight, man/auto you just cant grab any slicks (as I have) but yeah he was spinning.

Yeah, that really is a problem, the sway i have in my car when running 143+ really gets to me, even with stiff wall MT 28-10.5

its not the slicks, if the car is swaying or moving then its spinning. if the tires are planted and you are pointed straight there should be no problems-right down the groove.
